Fractures

Conference

Computational methods for the simulation of complex physical processes in fractured media play a fundamental role in many applications including aquifer monitoring and protection, oil&gas enhanced recovery, and geological storage of pollutants. All these applications involve a number of coupled physical processes, occur in large scale complex geometries, are characterized by large uncertainty, and quite often require a reliable risk evaluation and prevention. The conference aims at presenting and discussing a number of issues recently raised about modeling and development of suitable numerical methods regarding:

  • Flow in fracture networks
  • Influence of roughness inside the fractures
  • Flow in fractured porous media
  • Up-scaling and homogenization
  • Coupled thermal, hydraulic and/or mechanical processes in fractured media
  • Fault reactivation and fracture deformation
  • Fracture propagation
  • Self-organization of fracture networks
  • Non-linearities (such as geochemistry, dissolution inside the fractures etc…)
  • Verification benchmarks
  • Uncertainty quantification/risk measurements
  • Artificial intelligence applied to fractured media, Graph-based methods, model reduction
